“I talked to Mike about it, I go right to the top,” Alexander joked. “When I talked to Mike I said ‘hey Mike, here are the 25 guys that I worked with for the draft. Who do you want to talk about?’ The first thing he said was, ‘tell me about Jackson Carman.’ I was kind of like 'wow.' I thought first they’d want to know about Penei Sewell and go down the line and all that kind of stuff and he wanted to talk about Jackson and obviously I gave a strong endorsement and I think he’s going to be terrific.”
“Is he a first round pick? No question he is," Alexander said without hesitation. "He is going to start right away and in his career he’s going to at least be an average NFL starter at his position, maybe better, so that’s why I see him more as a first rounder.”
You still don't get it. If Mike Brown called in Paul Alexander because he had decided to scout O-lineman then he would have asked about all of them.
The fact that he only asked about Carman proves that the decision had already been made.
Mike Brown does not scout. If he did decide to scout then he might call Paul to help get him started. But that is not what happened here. Mike already knew that Carman was one of our top targets.
